[QUOTE="overboard, post: 452758, member: 6547"] Sounds like something I would try! :lol: You could always try the UHMW material, but for $6 and a little bit of time I think I would stay with the stainless steel. Just a thought: Any small rocks that may be "caught" by the stainless fins may not be stopped from entering the intake by the UHMW material due to it flexing more, I've seen pictures on here where small rocks were jammed into those fins.. As mentioned, the stock SS fins have an elongated hole on the 1 end, I would try to duplicate that for the reasons mentioned. Usually the major damage to a jet foot is caused by a hit on the front leading edge, I doubt if either type of fin would have a tendency to stop that. Just looked at something, it looks like both RockProof jets and Wooldridge UHMW jet intakes both have the stainless fins in them, there's a reason for that! [/QUOTE]
